NATAS Holidays 2026, the 64th edition of Singapore's largest travel fair, ran Friday 21 to Sunday 23 August 2026 at Singapore Expo Halls 3B, 4 and 5. The hall is closed and every fair offer below has expired, so this page now stands as the verified record of what was actually on the floor: each promo code, price, minimum spend and booth number was taken from the exhibitors' own NATAS flyers on the fair's official promotions page, not from deal-aggregator write-ups. The most valuable sheet at the fair was Traveloka's, which published 18 NATAS-exclusive codes including NATASFLYHIGHSQ for S$200 off a Singapore Airlines flight (min. spend S$2,500) and NATASSTAY for S$25 off any hotel (min. S$350). Five banks took booths and UOB was not one of them: the official exhibitor list carried Maybank (B01), OCBC (B02), DBS (B03), Citibank (B04) and CIMB (B05), and CIMB published the clearest luggage ladder, rising to a Samsonite Black Label Richmond 28-inch on a S$9,000 spend. NATAS has published no 2027 dates, and on its own record it never does early: across the last six editions, every news release announcing a fair was dated exactly 16 days before opening day. The next one is NATAS Travel 2027, the 65th edition, and the spring fair has landed between 1 March and 27 March over the past three years.
The August fair is over. NATAS Holidays 2026 ran 21 to 23 August 2026 at Singapore Expo and closed on Sunday night, so every fair offer below has expired. What follows is the verified record of what was actually on the floor.
> Quick view: the best sheet was Traveloka's 18 app-usable codes (NATASFLYHIGHSQ, S$200 off SIA, min. S$2,500). Best freebie: Yoowifi's free 3GB eSIM at Booth 3H06. Five banks took booths and UOB was not one of them. No 2027 dates yet: NATAS announces each fair exactly 16 days ahead.
Was UOB at NATAS Fair 2026, and which banks gave free luggage?
UOB did not have a booth. NATAS's own exhibitor list for NATAS Holidays 2026 names five banks, and UOB is not among them. Neither is Standard Chartered. UOB Travel, the bank's travel agency arm, does appear on Singapore Airlines' own fair flyer as one of eleven agents accepting Kris+, but it is not on the official exhibitor list either. If a UOB luggage-redemption search sent you here, go to uob.com.sg/NATAS directly: UOB keeps a NATAS landing page at that address, but the bank's firewall blocks outside reads, so we cannot confirm what, if anything, it ran for the August 2026 fair.
The five banks that did take booths, with what each published on its own artwork:
| Bank | Booth | Redemption published for the fair |
|---|
| Maybank | B01 | On the exhibitor list, but no redemption on the fair's promotions page when we checked it on 20 August 2026 |
| OCBC | B02 | Free luggage bags, free umbrellas and sure-win prizes on card spend at the fair |
| DBS Bank | B03 | Spend and redeem free luggage and more with a DBS or POSB credit or debit card. Limited redemptions, first come first served |
| Citibank | B04 | On the exhibitor list, but no redemption on the fair's promotions page when we checked it on 20 August 2026 |
| CIMB | B05 | The clearest ladder of the five: a sure-win lucky spin with gifts worth up to S$480 at S$1,000 spend, a Samsonite NIAR 24-inch (R.P. S$490) at S$3,500, a NIAR 29-inch (R.P. S$570) at S$5,000, and a Samsonite Black Label Richmond 28-inch (R.P. S$1,050) at S$9,000 |
Every tier above closed with the hall on 23 August 2026. Bank redemptions are set edition by edition, so what CIMB or DBS ran in August is not a guide to what either will offer next time. The shape has held across editions, though: a low sure-win tier at roughly S$1,000 of spend, then branded luggage from about S$3,500 up, redeemed at the bank's own booth rather than at the travel agent's counter. That is why the bank row is worth walking before you pay a tour deposit, not after.
When is the next NATAS fair, and when will the 2027 dates be announced?
There are no 2027 dates yet, and on NATAS's own record there will not be until roughly two weeks before the doors open. Re-checked on 19 September 2026: natastravelfair.travel is still built around the 64th edition's thank-you page, its promotions and exhibitor sub-pages still return a 404, and the word "2027" appears nowhere on either NATAS site. Two things have moved since our 11 September check, and neither is a fair announcement. The fair site's About page is back up, and the association's events listing now runs past August: a members' bowling tournament on 4 September, a Frasers House site visit on 11 September, a Resorts World Sentosa familiarisation tour on 29 September and the NATAS Grand Prix on 16 October 2026. All four are trade events for members, not consumer fairs.
The next edition will be NATAS Travel 2027, the 65th. NATAS runs two consumer fairs a year and alternates the names: a spring Travel edition and an August Holidays one. Its own About page puts that cadence in writing: the Travel fair falls in February/March and the Holidays fair in August/September, each running three days and drawing an average of 100,000 visitors. Here is what its own news releases record for the last six, every one of them Friday to Sunday at Singapore Expo with free admission and no registration:
| Edition | Fair | Dates | Expo halls | Announced |
|---|
| 59th | NATAS Travel 2024 | 1–3 Mar 2024 | 4 & 5A | 14 Feb 2024 |
| 60th | NATAS Holidays 2024 | 16–18 Aug 2024 | 4 & 5 | 31 Jul 2024 |
| 61st | NATAS Travel 2025 | 28 Feb–2 Mar 2025 | 4 & 5 | 12 Feb 2025 |
| 62nd | NATAS Holidays 2025 | 15–17 Aug 2025 | 5 & 6 | 30 Jul 2025 |
| 63rd | NATAS Travel 2026 | 27–29 Mar 2026 | 4 & 5 | 11 Mar 2026 |
| 64th | NATAS Holidays 2026 | 21–23 Aug 2026 | 3B, 4 & 5 | 5 Aug 2026 |
The announcement gap is the useful column. Every date in it is the dateline printed on NATAS's own news release, and we opened all six PDFs again on 19 September 2026 to check them: all six were dated exactly 16 days before opening day. Not "about a fortnight", but 16 days every single time, across three years and both seasons. So checking for 2027 dates in September or October is wasted effort. The spring fair has landed anywhere between 1 March and 27 March over those three years, which puts NATAS Travel 2027 in late February to late March.
There is a catch in where you watch for it. The obvious place is the press releases page at natas.travel, but that page is a poor alarm clock, because the date beside each release is when it was uploaded, not when it was issued. The Travel 2025 release is dated 12 February 2025 and was only posted there on 25 July 2025, five months after that fair had finished. The Holidays 2025 one is dated 30 July 2025 and went up on 8 September 2025, three weeks after the hall closed. The last two editions were posted promptly, Travel 2026 six days after its dateline and Holidays 2026 the next day, so the page is usable again. Even so, the fair's own site at natastravelfair.travel is the safer thing to watch: it flips from the thank-you page to the new edition when the dates go live. Treat any 2027 date quoted anywhere before then as unconfirmed.
One consequence of the fair site being wound down to a thank-you page plus an About page: the booth numbers in this article are now the surviving record of the August floor. That matters more than it sounds, because the promotions page's own embedded booth data carried the previous edition's floor plan while the fair was running, and was wrong for several exhibitors.
Where these offers came from
Every price, promo code, minimum spend and booth number in this article was taken from the exhibitors' own NATAS flyers published on the fair's official promotions page, not from deal-aggregator write-ups, and every one was re-checked against those flyers and against NATAS's official exhibitor list on 20 August 2026, the day before the fair opened. Where a brand's own artwork stated its booth number we used that number, cross-checked against the official exhibitor list PDF. The booth numbers embedded in the promotions page's own listing data were left over from the March 2026 fair and were wrong for several exhibitors, which is the single most common way a fair guide sends readers to the wrong hall.
The fair itself was the 64th edition, run under the theme A World Within Reach. Exhibition space grew 25% on the previous edition, close to 100 exhibitors took part, and 14 national tourism organisations were on the floor, a 40% increase, with Papua New Guinea returning as destination partner for a second year. Daily stage programmes of cultural performances and travel talks ran 1pm to 8pm.
How to work the next fair in two hours
This is the route that worked at the August edition, and the one to reuse when the next fair opens. Most people wander the halls and buy the first thing that looks discounted. A better order:
- Hall 3 first: collect the free stuff. Yoowifi's free 3GB / 7-day eSIM at Booth 3H06 costs nothing and is limited stock, so it is the one thing that can genuinely run out before you get there.
- Bank row next, before you buy anything. Five banks took booths in August: Maybank (B01), OCBC (B02), DBS Bank (B03), Citibank (B04) and CIMB (B05). The full table of what each one published is above. Find out which of your cards carries a fair redemption and what the qualifying spend is, because that changes which card you should pay your tour deposit on an hour later.
- Then the big-ticket counter. Tours and cruises are where the fair-only pricing lives: Chan Brothers (4H03), Trafalgar (4H32), Cruise Arena (4H37). Bring dates, passenger ages and cabin preferences already decided.
- Insurance on the way out. Etiqa at 4H34 and 5H11, up to 45% off. Buy it while you still have the tour details in hand: the ages and dates you need are the same ones you just gave the agent.
- Traveloka's codes from your phone, any time. The 18 codes at Booth 4H52 work in the app for all three days, so this is the part you do not need to queue for.
The four numbers that decide whether you actually saved money
| Check this | Why it matters |
|---|
| All-in price after taxes and surcharges | Chan Brothers' flyer states taxes and surcharges of S$84–S$800 on top of the advertised fr fares. A "S$200 off for 2" that sits on an undisclosed S$600 surcharge is not a discount |
| Minimum spend on the code you are using | Traveloka's codes range from a S$550 minimum (NATASFLYSEA) to S$9,000 (NATASFLYLUXE). The wrong code silently fails at checkout |
| Which card unlocks which redemption | SIA's Spin & Win requires a Mastercard; Trafalgar's extra S$50 is on selected bank cards only. The best miles card is not always the right card here |
| Deposit versus full payment terms | Several exhibitors reward full payment at the fair rather than a deposit. Ask what you forfeit if the tour does not reach minimum group size |
What to bring
Passport details for every traveller (agents need full names as printed for ticketing), the credit card that carries the fair redemption, and a rough shortlist of two or three destinations rather than one fixed plan: the discounts vary enormously by departure date, and flexibility on dates is where the largest savings sit at a travel fair. If you are booking for parents, note Etiqa's age banding: overseas medical cover drops from S$200,000 to S$50,000 on the Classic tier once the insured is 70 or over.

*Every offer, price, promo code, minimum spend and booth number above was taken from the exhibitors' own NATAS Holidays 2026 flyers published on the official NATAS promotions page (natastravelfair.travel), plus the fair's own event details and its official exhibitor list PDF, and verified against all three on 20 August 2026. Fair scale figures (64th edition, 25% more exhibition space, close to 100 exhibitors, 14 national tourism organisations, Papua New Guinea as destination partner) are from NATAS's own announcement. The 11 September 2026 check confirmed the official exhibitor list PDF was still live, with the five bank booths and no UOB or Standard Chartered. Re-checked again on 19 September 2026: the fair site's promotions and exhibitor sub-pages still return a 404, every exhibitor and brand link in this article still resolves, NATAS has published no 2027 dates on either of its sites, and the six announcement dates in the table above were read off NATAS's own news release PDFs on that date. Terms were set by each exhibitor and applied only for the three fair days. Cover image composed from the official NATAS Holidays 2026 fair logo and participating exhibitors' official logos.*
